Recent review: Hot Shoes really made the night! We were having a 1920/30s-themed wedding and Hot Shoes provided us with the icing on the cake. They also helped out when the best man screwed up the playlist for the slot after the band finished playing, so that was very much appreciated too! You guys are very talent

Birthday party (kids) - Nottingham

My twin daughters will be 2 on 20th February. They are obsessed with a song called The Dinosaur Song. https://youtu.be/bENtOFR66YY
They would absolutely love it if they could see it being played a couple of times at their home and it would be a great home video. Is it possible for it to happen?

Wedding - Norwich

Hi there,
I am looking for some music for the church (people coming in, aisle, signing of the registry, people leaving) and then the reception nearby (hopefully outside!) I really liked the look of this band but see they have many different options and I am not sure what would work best for the venue and would welcome your ideas. There will be about 130 guests. I like the idea of a harpist and violinist or string quartet. Not sure which one will work best. I look forward to your ideas.

Hi
I am looking for a string trio (to include violin and cello) for my classical romantic wedding on 16 April 2016 between noon and 4:30 pm with a one hour break between 1pm and 2 pm, all indoors. The venue will be in central London near Hyde Park. I'd be very grateful if you could please respond to the following queries:
- would you be available then?
- what would the rate be for a trio?
- I will have 2 special songs that might not be on your repertoire. Will it be possible for the musicians to play these? Will the rate change accordingly?
- number of guests will be 80.
- have you already got a slow waltz song in your repertoire for duo or trio? If so, can you please send me the title?
- do you bring your own sound equipment? If not, what would you need?
- will I be able to advise on the outfits worn by the musicians (knee length skirts as a minimum and with sleeves, classical outfits)?
Thank you for your response.

Hey,
This is an outdoor event on a farm just outside Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk.
We're getting married around 1300 and then just chilling and dancing around until 1630. It'd be cool to have some funky brass and bass to bob around to.
There'll be around 120-130 guests.
Cheers,
Marcin

My event is indoors it's a surprise 30th birthday party but what I really wanted was to have a brass band play happy birthday to him then maybe do a little jingle after and that's it maybe would need about 30min ?

Celebration - Cambridge

Average quote: £180.00

We are looking for a classical guitarist to play background music during our dinner, at Jesus College, Cambridge University. The dinner is part of a wedding celebration, but we are NOT looking for a guitarist for the church ceremony on Tuesday afternoon. JUST for dinner.
There will be only 14 people, at the most, in the Alcock room at Jesus College. Guests will start arriving at 7:00, and we ask for the music to be played for perhaps a half hour, with a 10 or 15 minute break, followed by another half hour. I am guessing, because I really don't know who these events proceed.
It is essential for us that the entertainer NOT smoke, because we do not want the lingering smell of tobacco on the entertainer's clothing.
